Heat Networks

Gibson STS provide design, installation and maintenance of heat networks which is a distribution system of insulated pipes that takes heat from a central source and delivers it to several domestic or non-domestic buildings.

District heating can be more energy efficient, due to simultaneous production of heat and electricity in combined heat and power generation plants. This has the added benefit of reducing carbon emissions. The larger combustion units also have a more advanced flue gas cleaning than single boiler systems.

Typical carbon dioxide emissions [g/kWh] of different heating systems:

 

 

District Heating
&CHP gas 10
CHP coal 270
Biomass 270
Waste incineration 20
Oil 360
